Bryozoans are aquatic animals that form colonies of connected individuals. They take a variety of forms: some are bushy and moss-like, some are flat and encrusting and others resemble lace. Bryozoans are mostly marine, with species found in all oceans from sublittoral to abyssal depths, but freshwater species also exist. Some bryozoans are of concern as marine-fouling organisms and invasive species, while others show promise as sources of anticancer, antiviral and antifouling substances. Written by experts in the field, Australian Bryozoa Volume 1: Biology, Ecology and Natural History is the first of two volumes describing Australia's 1200 known species of bryozoans, the richest diversity of bryozoans of any country in the world. It contains chapters on the discovery of bryozoans, their morphology, classification and fossil history, their roles in biosecurity and marine benthic environments, and potential uses in biotechnology and ocean acidification. It provides an authoritative reference for biology students, academics and others interested in marine biology.

"Until the early 19th century, natural historians were puzzled by organisms at the time known as zoophytes: were they animals (zoo-), plants (-phyte), or something in-between? Perhaps they were even the common ancestors of animals and plants? Zoophytes as then conceived included sponges, corals and coralline algae, as well bryozoans, the subject of this book. The so-called 'zoophyte problem' greatly engaged Charles Darwin when he set sail from Plymouth Sound on board HMS Beagle in December 1831. Indeed, Darwin's first scientific paper, which was read by his mentor Robert Grant before both the Wernerian and Plinian societies when Darwin was a medical student at the University of Edinburgh, had concerned species of zoophytes we now know to be the bryozoans Flustra and Carbasea. And he made detailed observations of the intriguing behaviour of the peculiar 'bird-head' structures in bryozoans dredged off Patagonia during the Beagle voyage (Keynes 2003)"--
